New toy for Jims. I had so much fun Autocrossing my Mini I decided to buy some Rims and Kumho Ecsta V-700's for it. I was faster than Mustangs with racing tires last time out and I was running the crappy/heavy run flats that come with the car.



There is a high speed even in Gainsville this weekend. I might get up at 5:00 Sat morning and drive up for the Sat. event.



P.S. I still love Autocrossing the RX-7. Its fun sometimes to just go have some fun in a different car.

what is the diff between Esctra V700 and the victoracer v700?

those look nice, are those wheels available in FC compatible configuration?

bling bling!

Those look nice.

My stock Fd hood was delivered today. It was wrapped in 1 piece of cardboard and both ends are all fucked up.

Looking at 4-5 hours reapir time. (I am not a body repair man)

So i sent the sellar an enlighting PM.



I usually like visits from UPS.

Although it was shipped airborne express.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

Nice..

Damn, Jim, those are nice.



Sorry to hear about your bad experience, Dave.

The Ecsta V-700 came in the right size for my car and the Victoracer (which I prefer, I think) didn't.



I have never raced on the Ecsta V-700. I'll let you know how they work.



I have had people tell me thay hate than and other tell me they love them.

Yes I got them from Tire Rack. Go look I am almost positive they come for an FC too. They are resonable and light. $130-$150 a rim and weigh 15 lbs for a 16x7.5

I think those even come in the same bolt pattern as the FB! Manntis had them on his car.

I would get a different hood, I HATE HATE HATE bodywork on hoods.





Did I mention how I hate bodywork on metal hoods?

Don't you love people that take your money but not thier time?



Sorry Dave

wow that was like the best line ive ever heard.



i bow to you.



kevin.

i ****** loaded those damn rims!

load me some.



kevin.

Yes they come in FC configurations. I was planning to purchase them in a 17" for my FC until I became unemployed. They are very light and well priced. Kosei K-1.

You work for UPS?

I built a 5 x5 plywood crate for the hood I shipped this week. Good luck taking it apart

Those tires are what I ran on my rx7, and they were awsome. They have a better tread pattern for rain than the victoracers, the compound is probably the same. I think you made a good decision going with those for auto-x.

UPS is delivering my PFC today https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

we got our muffler! hopefully the its car will be under 122db now!

^HOPE ITS NOT A SPINTECH!

you will need a drill, a pry bar and possibly some C4 plastic explosive to get it open.

Travisty has experienced a BANZAI shipping crate!

magnaflow, so far yelling into it not impressed. its a turbo style 3" in and out with 3" internal tubes



mike

I put the magnaflow on the BFH after the spintech, sounds better than the flowcrap

OBX!!!

UniqueTII need's the OB-GYN

I have some sand in my vagina.

Mmmmmm, raspy. *drool*

I wish I could afford to run these tires on my car all the time. I have them on there now to scuff them in. WOW! Forst they are probably 15 lbs per tire lighter than the stockers. They STICK so nice. I am taking corners at very illegal speeds. Actually I am breaking the seed limit in turns.



Fun!

Any pics with 'em on?

Is this the ISO test procedure? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
